iyhlwebmaster Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Have they put this in development to be an automatic embed in the venue element? It would make a bunch of sense to modify the venue element to contain the correct fields (i.e. separate street address, city, state, zip) and then automatically embed the google link in the element (based on the address) so that it brings up google maps with the address automatically. I see tons of sites that do this already, why doesn't sports engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bedeaux Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Totally agree! There is an idea in our ideas portal related to this as well as making the the venue element support predefined venues.
